I think you need more dire threats and more loving correction, and possibly better tests. Now it won’t even give me SciAm (for a 504 Gateway Timeout)! :( More tears are ensuing. I hope you’re happy, SciAm – I hope you’re satisfied!!

Hooray for another installment! I never tire of all things pyroclastic.

I am left wondering about that little tree that weathered the blast from inside a snowbank.
Is it still alive today? How big is it now? Is the eruption recorded within its growth rings?
It would be fascinating to study how the soil organisms fared.

I must admit, that even without the extremely fascinating science, this would be as gripping and well written a tale as one could wish for. More please, lots more and thank you muchly, as I really look forward to each new instalment.
